SID#:

Laboratory Section:

1. Given a beaker containing only water, what is/are the specie(s) in the
sample? Write the formula and provide the name. If you are not sure, indicate
as NS.

2. Provide a short definition of an acid.

3. Provide a short definition of a base.

4. Make a list of some acids you know, if you can provide a name and a formula.
You do not have to look examples up in a book, I'm interested in what you
can recall.

5. Make a list of some bases you know, if you can provide a name and a formula.
You do not have to look examples up in a book, I'm interested in what you
can recall.

6. For acids what does the term strong acid mean to you?

7. What does the term weak acid mean?

8. Recalling the concept of the equilibrium constant, indicate what you
believe the size of the equilibrium constant might be for a strong acid? a
weak acid? If you are no sure about this question indicate NS.

9. Is there anything about the questions that you feel you do not understand?
List your concerns/questions.
